Are you having trouble getting the feedback or explanations you need ? At Rotunda-CHR, all the treatment ( including the consultation, all the ultrasound scans, egg collection and embryo transfers are done personally by either Dr Gautam Allahbadia or one of the members of our Clinical Team. The buck stops with us – and we don’t delegate any part of your delicate and critical IVF treatment to anyone else !

At Rotunda, we recognize the importance of the healthcare team functioning as a coordinated unit in the overall treatment plan. Each member of the Rotunda staff, from the physicians to the egg donor coordinator, plays a critical role in providing the high-level of reproductive healthcare that our patients have come to expect at Rotunda.
